 Zire 31-Great Little PDA for the $ August 12, 2008
The Zire 31 is great for the price (about $70) from an amazon seller. This is my second one. The first lasted about 3 1/2 years before screen fade set in. Unfortunately, palm doesn't make this anymore. It has card expansion slot which the Zire 22 (the current PDA only device from Palm) doesn't have. If this one lasts like the first did I will be pleased.
 Works Great! July 11, 2008
I received my Palm Pilot sooner than promised, in brand new condition. It came with the manual and Install CD, and the seller also included a paper with more helpful hints in addition to those. I charged it, set it up, then transfered my info from my Palm desktop. It was so easy and quick!
 Don't bother June 28, 2008
This Palm product lasted less than one year before the the touchscreen would not recognize or locate the pen. Retraining it did not solve the problem. I was very disappointed in this product after owning 2 other Palm IIIs for several years.
HAPPY REPEAT CUSTOMER June 21, 2008
THE ZIRE 31 FULLY MEETS MY NEEDS AS A CALENDAR AND TASK MANAGER. I USE THE CALCULATOR OCCASSIONALLY, TOO. IT'S EASY TO USE AND KEEPS A BATTERY CHARGE FOR A GOOD LENGTH OF TIME. THIS IS MY SECOND ZIRE 31.
Excellent Service June 20, 2008
